Intra Organization and Power Bargaining Model

Intra-OrganizationalIntra organization is a key factor to the beginning stages of how successful a bargaining unit will be in negotiations. Intra organization is when each respective in a particular bargaining unit works towards a consensus. The inability to agree within ones bargaining unit slows down the process and can create dysfunction. Negotiating starts within each bargaining unit during pre-bargaining preparation. This is where discussion and negotiations begin within each bargaining unit to decide what is most important to least importance. Once the pre-bargaining preparation process is complete, the bargaining unit is ready to negotiate against the other bargaining unit. There were many forces that impacted our Intra-organizational bargaining. First we all had our individual perception on what was most important and what was least important. This had a lot to do with our personalities, attitudes, values and beliefs. For example, depending on our personalities, those who were shy didn’t get to fully express how they felt about their issue. On the other hand those in the bargaining unit who were out spoken would make it a point to not let up and fight for their concerns. Our bargaining unit had a variety of issues we wanted to push to get into the contract. We had to decide what we considered a must haves and what can be used as a bargaining chips. Discussions continued until we all had a good idea where our stance was as a bargaining unit with each issue. The end result of our intra-organization bargaining was difficult but successful. We were able to agree on what issues were most and least important to our bargaining members. We had a few bargaining representatives who were concerned with subcontracting and their job security. Then we have other members who felt subcontracting was irrelevant but having a flexible schedule was above all else. My concern was to allow management to keep their managing power in order to continue to be...

Abell's model: Customer Needs: Need for communication. Customer Group: People looking for wireless communication. Distinctive Competencies: low-cost and innovative products and services.
Porter’s Five Forces Model: Risk of entry by potential competitors is high because the prices are set by referendum which makes it affordable and easy to switch and the services are provided by other local companies. Rivalry among established companies are high as demand for the products and services increased, rivals have created its own competitive advantage. Bargainingpower of buyers is high because the Finns are able to choose the lowest price in the market and the switching cost is low. Bargainingpower of supplier is low because there are many low-cost suppliers that can produce the phone but it will become challenging when Nokia switches to more advanced products with built-in internet and have to install microchips and other items. Threat of Substitutes is high because there are more product and services offerings from the internet like messengers with webcams as well as other products and services from other companies that evolved in the market.
